seems like a nice change and requires some careful though on how you spend your points.

if the "word on the street" for both of us are the same, there might be a gem who is a 3star player that nobody bothered to look.
But if the "word on the street" for us are different, then there really isn't any "gems" that we can exploit.

(btw, thanks for letting me know that the world on the street for our draft is fairly inaccurate :D)

This was something that I was wondering too. I have no idea if our "word on the street" ratings will be the same or not. It could be that what I am seeing as a 3 ball could be showing as a 5 ball on your list. I'll have to read through the global forums later to see if a BB or GM has clarified this.

I want to know who these "people on the street" are and hit them on the head with something hard because they seem to know little about basketball.

Well I got a C with 5 ball star rating and 5 ball potential with a height of 7'2. The only problem is that he is 19.

reply to my post in our forum. I posted what I see there from the draft link there.

Do we have any idea if players 1-48 are the same for everyone in the league? I'm willing to compare with a fellow Naismither to find out.

draft is pretty much over for me. made group demonstration, everything looked good. then scouted 6 players individually and all of them turned up to be 19yo and only one with 4 star potential

This is true: although in general, the best players should be at the top. Or at least they would be if the initial impression was any good.

I think as a precaution, the BBs ended up 4erring on the side of caution when deciding how accurate to make the lists, and rewarding those that put in a lot of money waiting for the new system. if I were to guess, I'd predict future drafts will have slightly more accurate first impressions.

well, if i knew that each team has different list, i would scout top players. i scouted 1 and 2 star players because i will have one of last picks.
